Q: I just changed my brakes cause I heard a horrible rubbing sound like metal on metal. And it's still there. It's bad.
I kept hearing screeching sounds from the front right of my car. It's front wheel drive. So I figured it was the breaks so I changed them. And I still hear it. It's really loud and it sounds bad. What could it be? The wheel hub? Or the bearings?
My car has 86000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
